Our Partnership


The Flying High Partnership is a multi-academy trust and consists of two distinct parts, firstly the Flying High Trust which is the schools we are accountable for and they form our family of schools. Secondly, Flying High Futures which is all of the Continual Professional Learning (CPL) we offer for schools across our designated region – development for all school based staff, regardless of role to ensure they make every day count for the children in their school.

We are also proud to have achieved an Outstanding rating in our 2023 Ofsted inspection for our teacher training provision, delivered in partnership with Inspiring Leaders teacher training. This Outstanding rating exemplifies the strong partnership between training provider, schools, and trainees, as we all work together to shape the next generation of confident and effective teachers. 90 trainees have already signed up to begin their journey with us in September 2023, across the region.
